Secondary signal change and an apparent diffusion coefficient decrease of the substantia nigra after striatal infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted imaging can depict secondary signal change of the substantia nigra of patients with ipsilateral striatal infarction via a decrease in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Clinical predictors of this phenomenon remain unclear. METHODS We assessed 98 stroke patients with acute ischemic lesions in the hemilateral basal ganglia, external capsule, or ...
متن کاملDegeneration of the Substantia Nigra Following Ipsilateral Striatal Infarction
A 74-year-old woman was admitted due to a 4-day history of disorientation. Although her symptoms showed improvement, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Day 3) revealed a high-intensity lesion in the right basal ganglia in diffusion-weighted images and T2WI without any changes on magnetic resonance angiography (Picture 1), which supported a diagnosis of striatal infarction, presumably due t...
متن کاملSignal Intensity of High B-value Diffusion-weighted Imaging for the Detection of Prostate Cancer
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. Objective: To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an...
متن کاملApoptosis in substantia nigra following developmental striatal excitotoxic injury.
We have previously observed that an axon-sparing injury to the developing striatum induced by the excitotoxin quinolinate results in a decrease in dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) of the adult. This decrease occurs in the absence of direct injury to the SNpc. As the striatum is a major target for the SNpc dopaminergic system, we have hypothesized that a decrease...
متن کاملSubstantia nigra MR imaging signal changes and cardiomyopathy following prenatal exposure to cocaine and heroin.
Exposure to cocaine in utero results in behavioral and neurodevelopmental abnormalities that persist into adulthood. Conventional MR imaging has generally failed to reveal the expected structural lesions to explain these clinical findings. We report a case of focal MR imaging signal-intensity changes in the substantia nigra, locus ceruleus, and other selected nerve tracts and nuclei in a child ...
